Hi there,
I have a problem with hearing my audio signal while recording or playing
with biab even though i can see the signal in my audio interface and i
just hear it after recording... so any help please
My setup is Biab 2018
Mbox 2 pro audio interface
Windows 7 64 bit.

Thanks
Watson

Try monitoring from the Mbox interface and not the computer.
Plug headphones into the MBox and you should hear your incoming signal.
Send output from BiaB into MBox so you hear both at once.
Kind of like using the MBox as a mini mixer.
(?) I don't have an MBox but most interfaces work this way.

Hi Watson,

Let's go to Options - Preferences - Audio. What's selected as the Audio Driver Type?

Please click Audio Drivers next. Is the MBox selected in the Window that appears?

Thanks

Hi Kent
Thanks for your help i did check in audio options
my interface (digidesign )but I can’t hear my audio signal. I can hear everything else.
And that doesn’t happen with Sonar only with Biab
Thanks
Watson

Hi Watson,

Are you saying you don't hear Band-in-a-Box's audio output, or that you don't hear what you're trying to record in your headphones as you record it? If it's the latter, then we're talking about input monitoring, which Band-in-a-Box won't do for you (since it's not a DAW).

Monitoring would be handled by the MBox, not by the software. The MBox's manual should explain how to enable input monitoring, but if you can't figure it out, please let us know which MBox model you're using.

Thanks

Hi Kent,
I’m talking about my recording signal. It is Mbox 2 pro with FireWire connection. I truned the monitoring knob all the way up but unfortunately i hear the recorded signal after recording I need to hear it while recording
I think

Hi Watson,

It looks like that "Monitor" knob is the volume control for the "Mon Out" outputs on the back of the MBox, nothing to do with input monitoring.

I'm not sure the MBox 2 actually provides hardware input monitoring. One review I found online said this: "The Mix control has gone and so the Low Latency monitoring feature is handled by the Pro Tools software, just as it is with the 002 and 002R interfaces." I also couldn't find any information in the MBox 2 Firewire's manual about enabling monitoring without ProTools.

If you open your Band-in-a-Box song in RealBand and do your recording there, RealBand can provide input monitoring, as long as you use an ASIO or WAS audio driver.
